Hold your ground? Xu Shuzheng never had that kind of thought from beginning to end, the only thing he had to do was to attack!

At ten o'clock in the morning, the sun finally showed its face from the dark sky, bringing a little warmth to the northern region. The howling north wind seems to have been touched, becoming gentle and calm, unable to roll up a single snowflake.

Directly in the buffer zone facing the outpost of the 311th Regiment, the pine forests that were several kilometers deep had been almost cut down, and only those close to the hills remained, providing a symbolic barrier between the two sides. But the snow-covered pine forest ground had already been trodden by scouts from both sides.

Xu Shuzheng briefly arranged the order for offensive operations, and an infantry battalion suddenly rushed out from the side along an equally covered route according to his fine command.

All the soldiers were strapped to skis and white camouflage cloths, and they looked very much like the elite of the People's Liberation Army in the world's forests, seas, and snowfields. Along a hillside that was not too steep, they gradually accelerated, bent down and sprinted, breaking through the smooth snow and heading straight ahead of the Russian-guarded positions!

In broad daylight, against the sun that had just come out, it was simply audacious and reckless, and it was even more unexpected by everyone!

The Russian troops guarding in front of them did not expect that their own homes would be attacked on the initiative. The day before, they had just received an order from above to prepare for battle. The officers who came to deliver the order rode on tall horses, and their arrogant attitude made the front-line soldiers feel very unhappy.

But it's okay if you're not satisfied, who let the family have money and buy an officer? The rules prevailing within the Russian army in those years. If you have money and connections, you can climb up. If you don't have money, you can be a gray animal. Let others spoil it.

The shouting of horses neighing that night not only broke the silence of the night, but also attracted the attention of the Chinese on the other side. This is something that the Russian officer did not expect at all, he patted his ass and walked away, but the troops who had to stay here poured blood mold!

The wind stopped, the snow stopped, and it was still cold.

Russian soldiers who learned to dig trenches during the confrontation. Huddled in the log outpost, lit a fire and roasted potatoes, smelling the slightly burnt aroma of food in his nose, and in a Chinese-made enamel jar, the deadly smell of heavily diluted sorghum roasted with water was passed through the hands of the soldiers of the entire outpost.

Everyone can only take a small sip according to the nail marks scratched on the outside, and they are reluctant to do less, but they are not allowed to do more. Whoever dares to drink more and cross the line, just wait for the big guy to strip off his clothes and throw them out to be frozen.

But even at the risk of freezing to death, there are still fouls every once in a while. Therefore, every time the enamel jar is passed, the hands of at least two people next to it are firmly fixed. Build just the right angle, that accuracy, you can play a cameo as a carpenter or artilleryman.

The liquor entered his throat, and the full comfort came to his heart, and the Maozi soldiers held their breath, letting the smell of wine keep churning in their throats and chests, refusing to let out the slightest bit. It wasn't until the tip of my tongue could no longer feel the slightest spiciness, that I reluctantly opened my eyes and watched other people's beautiful performances cool to the tip of my hair.

In the entire outpost, no one had the heart to care about the outside guard work. Basically, they don't even want to go out to pee, because lifting the cold blanket back and forth will cause a lot of heat consumption in the house. Wearing a military uniform that is not very warm, a trace of cold wind blowing can penetrate the skin, and the cold is unbearable. Even if the air in the house is as filthy and suffocating as the toilet, it is better than being frozen by the cold all the time.

The wine is almost gone, the potatoes are baked, everyone grabs their own share in their hands, and the hot mouth screams, but they refuse to put it down, tearing the skin hard, and nibbling in small bites.

The hot and fragrant food was eaten, and in an instant, the whole life seemed to be complete.

But no one noticed that there was a strange "rustling" sound outside with the breeze. Until, as if the wind swept through the treetops with ice and snow, and quickly approached the front, and continued to sweep over their heads, the hairy men suddenly understood.

But it's too late!

"Bang bang" Several rough kicks on the door came one after another, and several outposts suddenly reappeared commandos wrapped in white combat uniforms. They are covered from head to toe in white gear, except for two eyes exposed. With an assault rifle in his hand, he shouted in stiff Russian: "Don't move, put your hands up!" ”

The beating fire in the outpost provided them with enough light to see the situation inside, and almost no one of the Maozi soldiers sitting around had their rifles by their side, and they all had their heads clouded and didn't understand what was going on!

But this is beyond them, under the deterrence of a few assault rifles, no one dares to jump up to show their bravery, it is purely looking for death. They were allowed to kick them to the ground one by one, tie them up with plastic handcuffs, and detain them in the outpost on the spot.

A similar situation was constantly staged in the confrontational positions of the 311 regiment, which were pulled out in several places in a row, and there was not a single battle in the middle!

At the beginning of the 20th century, the Russian army was very poor, and the grassroots troops were not equipped with radios, not even telephones. Even if the outpost can be used as a guard, the best way to notify the enemy is to shoot or light a beacon. If neither can be done, the officers above will have to go around in the wind and snow themselves.

Of course, the officers refused to do such a hard thing, and they spent money to buy official positions, in themselves so that they would not suffer the same crime as the big soldiers. It's a cold day, how good it is to hide in the stove room, why go out to find discomfort.

But the problem is that when you don't fight in peacetime, you can just do that, and the left and right are just a little lazy and lazy in military discipline, and even if the superiors have any opinions, they can fool the past by spending some money to find relationships.

But now it's the two armies against each other, during the war! If you still do that, isn't that looking for death!

But who has let them loose for half a year, the two sides are so familiar with the business you come and go, not to mention knowing yourself and knowing the other, at least the vigilance has been weakened by half, even if there is an order from above to prepare for war, for a while. But where can you get into the state right away?

That's how the Russians dragged their feet. It doesn't matter what time and space. They all paid a huge price for it.

In the history of this world, in the First World War, it goes without saying that the Russian army was captured by the Germans one by one. If it weren't for the Germans' own problems, perhaps the millions of troops that Russia had thrown into it would have been wiped out sooner or later. Otherwise, the revolution that broke out later would have gone so smoothly that the Russian people were so disillusioned with the Tsar and his army that they could not stand the ugly show.

By World War II, it should have been better, right? Under the wise leadership of Comrade Stalin, a large-scale purge brought about the purity of the revolutionary ranks. That combat power can't roll up?

But on the battlefield, they were still hundreds of thousands of prisoners, and the casualties they paid throughout the war, especially the number of casualties in the troops, were the first, most of which were caused by insufficient preparation in the early stage of the war and slackness of thinking from top to bottom.

Then in the second plane, even after the previous fiasco and the loss of 300,000 people, the Russians still did not learn the lesson, preaching from top to bottom that "it was because of the sneak attack of the Chinese". Kuropatkin's months-long lying cover-up. The weakening of trade in the following six months not only wiped out the little will they had just accumulated to fight. It's even getting more and more insensitive.

The role of all sides is to weaken the strength of the Russian army, which shows how bad the situation is facing His Excellency Commander-in-Chief Linevich.

And today, they will pay a terrible price for it!

A series of forward checkpoints were removed, and the warning signal was not issued, and when the main force of a battalion of the 311 regiment suddenly forced into the main station of the Russian army, they were caught off guard!

The war mobilization order from the command of the Far Eastern Military District of the Russian army has just been issued, and all the troops are barely on alert, but where can the habits developed in more than half a year be changed overnight?

Finally, on a warm day, although most of the soldiers in the barracks were forced to take care of their clothes and the guns and ammunition were in their hands, no one seriously maintained and inspected them - the Russian army, which was almost entirely illiterate, and few of them knew how to maintain their weapons. If it weren't for the rough and sturdy Mosin Nagant rifles they used, it would have been difficult to even guarantee fire.

Although it is not possible to say that Ma Fang Nanshan, it is true that there is no sufficient ideological preparation. Suddenly, the Chinese soldiers slaughtered the door and openly launched a fierce attack on the barracks, and the Maozi had not yet reacted.

First of all, the machine gun fortress set up at the gate of the camp was sent into the sky by a bazooka, and the rough camp gate deer was immediately blown to pieces, and the light machine guns opened all the way and kept strafing, and the Chinese soldiers in white camouflage swept into it like ghosts emerging from the ground!

With less than one battalion of troops, they rushed forward separately in company units, quickly cutting off the large battalion where the Russian army was stationed with more than 2,000 people, shooting all the units that could move, and most of the remaining soldiers were blocked in the barracks. With the single-shot rifles in their hands and the pitiful bullets, there was no way to launch a counterattack.

The means of the assault troops are also fierce, as long as any barracks dares to shoot a bullet, a rocket will immediately bombard it, followed by several grenades, and finally barbecue with flamethrowers! No matter how many people you have in it, there won't be a few people left alive when you go down to the three-plate axe.

The stunned Maozi officers and soldiers were separated, and there was no command, and the merchants found out the detailed structure of the barracks early, and the Chinese soldiers who rushed in came up and beheaded them first, blocking the officers in their nests and capturing them in one fell swoop.

These guys who spend money to buy officials to climb up can't see the consciousness of soldiers at all. Under the threat of death, their first thought was to spend money to buy their own lives, resist to the end, and be loyal to the Tsar, without thinking about it at all.

Even heavy weapons were not used, and the cannon was not fired, Xu Shuzheng used a battalion of troops to easily wrap dumplings with more than a regiment of Maozi in front, and then seized the key outpost that forced into Ulan-Ude.

The strength of another battalion was immediately replenished, and an artillery battalion came forward, and the attached 122mm howitzers could directly reach the Russian base camp in the distance.

When the battle report reached the 31st Division and the Third Army Headquarters, Wu Peifu and Feng Guozhang were taken aback: "Xu Shuzheng, this kid is also a little fierce, right?!" Not only did he not defend but also took the initiative to attack, and he was not afraid of going deep alone and letting Maozi kill him? ”

However, Wu Peifu expressed his position beforehand, and naturally cannot criticize it now. On the contrary, he was stimulated by Xu Shuzheng's audacity, and said with a smile: "Young people are so energetic, we can't stick to the past." Since the Maozi have all made a move, with our strength, why do we have to wait for them to run in front of us? Order the troops, let's also take the initiative to meet the enemy and catch him off guard! ”

The entire 31st Division was mobilized, and the other two infantry regiments rushed out of the garrison in unison to launch a head-on attack against the Russian troops coming from the north!

The reconnaissance planes in the sky took pictures of the Russian troops' marching routes at any time and conveyed their footing locations to the headquarters in detail. As for how to protect against aerial reconnaissance, the Russians are not only strangers, they are simply ignorant. There are few qualified officers from top to bottom, and they don't have the corresponding qualities, and they are self-righteous and secretive, but the speed is maddening.

Seeing that the time for the attack requested by the headquarters was approaching, they still did not move in place, and no matter how they drove away, the soldiers who were so cold that they could not lift their spirits to hurry. This led to the fact that they could have entered the advantageous position in advance, but they were not able to reach it, but they were given the initiative by the 31st Division, which was the first to come!

In the early hours of the morning, a large number of Russian troops who were camping were suddenly bombarded with overwhelming shells! From afar, 122mm grenades scrambled to descend in a rapid manner, and the terrible explosion swept through the messy barracks, killing the sleeping Maozi soldiers in piles on the spot!

The rest, Leng Buding was stunned by the explosion that was close at hand, and he was driven by his dazed instinct to run around with his head in his hands, and what kind of combat quality was completely thrown out of the clouds!

The bombardment, which lasted for half an hour, completely washed the location of the Russian army, and the battlefield reconnaissance plane swooped down to see that the earth was like a white canvas, covered with black spots, and countless corpses were dotted into a messy mess, and blood was mixed with the steaming soil, exuding a hellish smell.

When the infantry followed up and cleaned up, they found many surviving Russian soldiers in the same place, but they were basically already mentally broken. The number of people who were killed on the spot will not be counted for a while, but at least half of them fled in panic between the surrounding mountains and forests.

The whole division of Maozi was served in a pot before he could open the stance. Because the blow came so suddenly, they didn't even figure out what was going on, let alone send an urgent telegram to the Far Eastern Command.

Commander-in-Chief Linevich, under the command of the order, secretly crossed the Baikal army and continued to press south. In a few days, they will launch an onslaught on Kyakhta.

He didn't know that there was a strange army, but it was secretly transported to Kulen in a military train, and after coming down to reorganize, it rumbled to the front of the battlefield. (To be continued.) )
